I am David

This is a novel by Ann Holm. I haven’t read the book yet, but I’ve watched the movie. I think it’s good although some people might find it full of unlikely coincidences. But don’t we have those unlikely coincidences in real life? I mean if we look back at those significant moments in our life, we would realise that we have experienced some of those unlikely coincidences too.

David is 12 years old; he managed to escape from Bulgarian Forced Labour Camp and to travel alone to Denmark. The variation of characters is very interesting; the fellow prisoner, a sailor, a baker, an Italian family, and widowed artist, they all helped the boy, intentionally or unintentionally, to reach his destination, and to discover his story. And what I find more interesting is the message of the story which is to believe in the goodness of humanity.

This is one of the movie best quotes;

“Life wouldn’t be worth living without trust. Be cautious, but live fully and freely. Make friends and see the goodness in people or you’ll never find any happiness.”

I have not seen the film or heard of the book.. But that line Quote about trust.. Perfect.. And yes Coincidences and Synchronicities are always within my own realm of reality.. I think when we are open to See them, we often marvel at how one event triggers the opening for another and so on.. Opening doors if you allow them to..
Loved reading Nahla..
Enjoy a Lovely week.. ❤
